ACHIEVEMENTS: The statement by former coach Rob Williams said it all. In more than 25 years as a varsity boys soccer coach, Williams said no one he’s seen has been more impressive than Radwanski-Gallas. The Bulldogs keeper was phenomenal in his junior season, allowing just 10 goals, and only six of those came in open play. Radwanski-Gallas recorded 12 shutouts, made 81 saves and held a 0.53 goals-against average at season’s end. He was also the vocal leader of one of the state’s stingiest back lines.

ACHIEVEMENTS: Walker wasn’t just Livingston County’s best forward and goal scorer in 2016, he was one of the state’s best as well. Walker earned third team all-state honors in Division 1 last season after posting 33 goals and nine assists. His contributions directly led to the 2016 squad being the highest-scoring in the program history. If he can stay healthy, this senior-laden squad has potential to upset some teams and make a run.

3) Tony Rizzo

SCHOOL: Hartland

CLASS: Senior

POSITION: Midfielder

ACHIEVEMENTS: Walker contributed Hartland’s most goals by a wide margin, but that shouldn’t undermine the importance of what Rizzo did for the Eagles. His stats weren’t quite as mind-blowing, but they were very good with 16 goals and 12 assists. He was also a stout defender, and his two-way game was why he was ultimately named honorable mention all-state in Division 1.

4) Ian Sosenko

SCHOOL: Brighton

CLASS: Senior

POSITION: Midfielder

ACHIEVEMENTS: Sosenko’s numbers won’t be the most eye-popping on this list. The midfielder collected only three goals in 2016. But being the go-to scorer wasn’t the role Sosenko was asked to play. He was called upon to facilitate, be smart with the ball, and roam the field on defense. That said, his responsibilities are expected to grow in his senior year, and the second team all-county player in 2016 is a good bet to make the leap to the first team this fall.

5) Corey White

SCHOOL: Hartland

CLASS: Senior

POSITION: Midfielder

ACHIEVEMENTS: Like Walker and Rizzo, White was a major factor in the Hartland offense compiling a school-record 97 team goals in 2016. The attacking midfielder contributed 12 scores of his own while assisting on a team-high 19 others. White was honorable mention all-KLAA, all-district and second team all-county last year. If Hartland has a similar season on offense this year, expect White to garner even more recognition for his contributions.
